Popis: Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemias are frequently diagnosed in older adults. Their prognosis is heterogeneous, but several prognostic factors can identify patients with an expected survival of a few years only, including among younger patients eligible for allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Based on the retrospective data available, we discuss how to identify CMML patients for whom curative therapy must be envisaged. We emphasize that, although transplantation remains the only path to cure in CMML, it can be envisaged in only a minority of patients. Despite increased donor availability, its potential remains limited by significant rates of mortality caused both by the procedure and by post-transplantation relapses. We review the options available to bridge patients to transplant, the management of transplantation itself (choice of donor, graft source and condition regimen), and finally the potential for post-transplantation interventions. Our review underscores the need for further prospective studies of allogeneic stem cell transplantation in CMML.
